Harry Redknapp: 'Julio Cesar can leave Queens Park Rangers for free'

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has reiterated that goalkeeper Julio Cesar is allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.

The 34-year-old was linked with an exit from Loftus Road during the summer window, but a move failed to materialise.

"He needs to play and I feel he's a player who could play for any team in the world," West London Sport quotes Redknapp as saying.

"We wouldn't stand in his way. It wasn't that we were asking for a fee for him. We weren't, we'd let him go on a free."

Former Premier League champions Manchester City are said to be monitoring the Brazilian.
